Arnett Moultrie

Arnett Moultrie is entering his third season in the NBA. Last season, he averaged 3.0 points, 2.9 rebounds, 0.2 assists, 0.7 steals, and 0.3 blocks in 16 minutes per game through 12 games played. He shot 42 percent from the field on 3.2 attempts per game and 80 percent from the free-throw line on 0.4 attempts per game. In 2013-14, Moultrie was limited, in part, by an ankle injury and a five-game suspension. After appearing in only 47 games as a rookie on a squad that featured more talented big man depth, and then only appearing in 12 games as a sophomore despite a wealth of opportunity, there's legitimate concern that Moultrie's time with the Sixers may come to an end soon. Moultrie is big enough to play either power forward or center and is quicker than most other players his size. He's also a strong free-throw shooter when he gets to the line, having shot 83 percent during his final year of college. Moultrie is a strong per-minute rebounder and has the ability to be an effective scorer. Before he entered the NBA, there were concerns that Moultrie needed improvement in his basketball IQ, but the biggest problem for Moultrie has simply been getting onto the court. He saw less action as a sophomore than as a rookie, despite a weaker depth chart. Spencer Hawes and Thaddeus young are now gone, but Henry Sims, Nerlens Noel, and Luc Richard Mbah a Moute have replaced them. There are minutes available for big men, but Moultrie will first have to make the final 15-man roster. If that happens, he must then beat out Jarvis Varnado and Brandon Davies for minutes in the frontcourt, and both of those players saw more action than Moultrie in 2013-14.
